new way to get rid of telemarketers
Me: Hello?
Telemarketer: Hello, is your mother home?
Me: I have no mother.
Her: Well can I speak to your father?
Me: Yeah, which... one?
Her: Which one is home?
Me: Well they're both home..but I don't think you want to talk to Carlos. He just went through a breakup with his boyfriend, Antonio.
Her: Oh, so your fathers' names are Carlos and Antonio?
Me: No, no! My fathers' names are Carlos and Mark.
Her: So who's Antonio?
Me: I just told you, Carlos's ex.
Her: So Carlos was cheating?
Me: Yes, but that's only because Mark was cheating with Edith, our neighbor.
Her: So Carlos cheated only because Mark cheated?
Me: No, he THOUGHT Mark was cheating.
Her: So Mark wasn't cheating?
Me: I never said that.
Her: Yes, yes you did!
Me: No I didn't.
Her: Y-yes! You did!
Me: Did what?
Her: Y-you-Nevermind have a nice day, goodbye.
My mom's reaction=priceless.

My husband kept talking to one once. He asked her lots of personal questions and then asked her out on a date, but made sure to tell her not tell me, his wife, because I have a very jealous, dangerous personality.
She hung up.
He asked another one once what type of education you needed to be a telemarketer. She replied she was college educated. He proceeded to berate her for wasting her parent's money they paid for her education just to be a telemarketer. She began to ask him to stop being mean to her. He reminded her she called him. She started to cry.
She hung up.
Both times I was rolling in the floor laughing.0 -

Well that's mean. It's hard to find a job in your field right now. Don't be mean to telemarketers. Just politely ask to be taken off their call list.0
